  [Verse 1]
  D                   F#m     Bm
  I hear the drums echoing tonight
  D/A              C/G           Em         Bm   C Bm Em
  She hears only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
  D                 F#m           Bm
  She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
  D/A              C/G                    Em7              Bm   C Bm Em
  The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
  D              F#m             Bm
  I stopped an old man along the way
  D/A                C/G            Em              Bm   C Bm Em
  Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
  D              F#m       Bm                  C                Em
  He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy, it's waiting there for you”
  [Chorus]
  Am                 F#b        C        G
  Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  Am                     F#b             C               G
  There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do       
  Am          F#b           C   G
  I bless the rains down in  Africa
  Am             F#b               C              Em G Am
  Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…
      C Bm Em
  Ooo Ooo
      C Bm Em
  [Verse 2]
  D             F#m            Bm
  The wild dogs cry out in the night
  D/A                  C/G              Em      Bm   C Bm Em
  As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
  D           F#m              Bm
  I know that I must do what's right
  D/A                   C/G        Em               Bm    C Bm Em
  As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
  D         F#m                Bm
  I seek to cure what's deep inside
  Bm                C                   Em
  Frightened of this thing that I've become
  [Chorus]
       Am                 F#b        C        G
  It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
  Am                     F#b             C               G
  There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
  Am        F#b             C   G
  I bless the rains down in  Africa
  Am             F#b               C              Em G Am
  Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…
      C Bm Em
  Ooo Ooo

  [Outro/Chorus]
       Am                 F#b        C        G
